Since 2013 J-Hope is a member, main dancer, and choreographer of the band BTS, in Big Hit Entertainment, where he performs in the "dance line", along with Jimin and Jungkook [1].

J-Hope was born the 18th of February of 1994 in Gwangju, South Korea [4] [5], and has an older sister. Before his debut with BTS, he was an underground dancer, performing under the name of Smile Hoya, and won several awards in competitions and dance festivals, in addition of being a member of two street dance groups, Go Arts and NEURON [6] [7].
He studied in the prestigious Seungri Dance Academy, and in 2009 auditioned for JYP Entertainment, where he was admitted and later performed along NEURON, which he abandoned in 2009 [8] [9] [10] [11].
After abandoning JYP Entertainment, J-Hope auditioned and later was admitted into Big Hit Entertainment in 2010, where he trained for two years with his two partners, underground rappers Kim Nam Joon ( Rap Monster) and Min Yoon Gi ( Suga), in order to debut June 13th of 2013, along with BTS with the single «No More Dream», of their album 2 Cool 4 Skool, in M Countdown [12]. Since then, he has contributed to the composition of many songs of the band throughout all their albums [2] [3].
Being part of Big Hit Entertainment, J-Hope performed alongside Jungkook as dancers in the song «I'm da One»'s video of Jo Kwon; this video also features Jin and V. Shortly afterwards, he would again collaborate with Jo Kwon in the song «Animal». These two songs were later compiled in Jo Kwon debut album, I'm da One, published June 25th of 2012.
J-Hope, together with Suga, Jungkook and Jimin, also collaborated as dancers in the single of the South Korean Vocaloid SeeU, along with GLAM, «Glamorous» [13].
